My dad's generation watched World War II newsreels in the theater while the war was still happening. They also did not need this explained.

Replying to @baseballcrank
Both my uncles were RCAF aviators in the war, one completing a full tour "over the hump" in Burma flying supplies for Chiang Kai-shek. My dad rolled off a dyke from a "forced labour train" and was hidden by the Dutch resistance for 18 months. No explanations necessary.

My dad's uncle was a POW, held by the Germans. When he got out, they shipped him to California to prepare to invade Japan.
